Application Engineer

• Lumafield is looking for a driven Applications Engineer to join our rapidly growing team. As an Applications Engineer you will own technical delivery for our customers
• Ou will become an expert in Lumafield’s scanners and software, and use that expertise to help customers achieve business results with industrial CT scanners
• A growing share of our systems are deployed into inline or line-adjacent, where the role is to build automated inspection workflows that let customers get sustained value out of their scanners
• That means designing and tuning scan recipes, using agentic coding to build custom tools, fixture design, and translating a manufacturing problem into a repeatable automated solution
• This is a broad, hands-on role. You will work cross-functionally with Customer Success, Solution Architects, Product Management, and Engineering, and you will be in front of customers regularly — on the phone, on video, and on their production floor
• Become an expert of Lumafield’s scanners across all product lines, including planning and running scans on a wide range of parts, materials, and inspection objectives
• Own post-sale technical execution for customer accounts
• Build automated inspection solutions and workloads for customers, including recipe development and tuning for inline and line-adjacent manufacturing deployments
• Use agentic coding tools to build custom tooling, scripts, and integrations that solve specific customer problems
• Design and iterate on fixturing to get repeatable, production-viable scans
• Run evaluation scans and technical demonstrations that help customers understand what CT can do with their parts
• Work cross-functionally with Customer Success, Solution Architects, Product Management, and Engineering to resolve technical issues and turn recurring customer needs into product improvements
• Document workflows, recipes, and training so customers can build on the work independently

Benefits

• Health, vision, & dental coverage
• Paid parental leave
• Equity package for all full-time employees
• Flexible vacation policy
• Mental health & wellness perks

• Retirement savings
• Company & team events
• Financial wellness education
• 2+ years of professional experience in an engineering, applications, technical support, technical sales, or production role
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and genuine comfort working directly with customers — including presenting technical results and managing expectations on scope
• Willingness to travel to customer sites, approximately 30%
• A degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, Metallurgical, Plastics, or a related engineering field
• Hands-on mechanical aptitude — comfortable with fixturing, tolerances, and how parts are actually made
• Comfortable using agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) to build tools and automations. You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you should be someone who reaches for automation rather than doing it by hand
• Energized by breadth. This role spans hardware operation, software, automation, and customer relationships, and no two weeks look the same
• Do you feel like your skills don’t meet every single requirement listed? We encourage you to apply anyway – If you’re excited about our technology, the opportunity, and are eager to learn more we’d love to hear from you!
• Experience with inline or automated inspection systems, or with integrating equipment into a production line
• Experience with CAD tools such as Onshape or SolidWorks
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as machining, casting, injection molding, additive manufacturing, stamping, or assembly
• Familiarity with GD&T, first-article inspection (FAI), or continuous improvement methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, or SPC
• Domain experience in medical devices, aerospace and defense, automotive, electronics, or batteries
• Hands-on experience with industrial CT, CMM, or other dimensional metrology or NDT workflows
